Square Washers

When constructing timber, wood and concrete fixings, a larger surface area may be required to evenly disturb load. Unlike round washers, square washers are able to fix firmly a larger surface area. Cromwell stock a selection of square washers in a range of sizes to suit your application from suppliers Qualfast and Workshop.

## What are square washers?
Square washers, also known as construction square plate washers, are a thin square shaped plate that has a hole, usually in the centre which is used with nuts, bolts or screws to hold fixings in place and evenly spread the load of threaded fasteners to reduce vibration.

## When are square washers used?
Most washers are predominantly disk shaped, however where a stronger resistance is required to prevent a fixing from loosening a square washer is ideal as  it has a bigger surface area which can distribute larger loads evenly.

Square washers are often used in all high load applications where a large clamped fixing is needed which can include concrete flooring applications, wood and timber construction or where it is necessary to fix bolts, screws and nuts through walls and timber.

## Considerations when choosing a square washer
• **Diameter**&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selection of the correct washer to suit the size of your fastener is critical to ensure a strong evenly spread load. There are a range of sizes available which is typically measured in metric.

• **For Norm Size**&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consideration to the compatibility of the nominal size of compatible bolt or screw is vital. Also measured in metric.

• **Material**&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Square washers are available in variety of materials,  although mostly in stainless steel. This is due to their excellent resistance to corrosion and durability.

## Square washer jargon buster
• **DIN**&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the approval used by the German institute for standardisation. Square washers have several applicable standards.

• **DIN 436**&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Square washers for wood constructions

• **DIN 434**&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Square taper washers for U-sections

• **DIN 435**&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Square taper washers for I-sections
